This was not a big hike, but once again, over each rise and turn, a panorama of sea and cliffs unfolded. I started to get the feel for whale watching. I'm figuring that unless you pay someone to take you out in a boat and do the watching for you, you have to keep your eyes on the sea. I did that today. I saw what I thought were plover. No puffins yet, and no whales, and no icebergs. Earlier in the year I'd have seen plenty of each. But pulling the binoculars from the pack and just watching for them is fun. I took a dip in the North Atlantic. Brrr. I struggled down the rocky beach and secured myself between to big rocks. The waves crashed onto me and shivering, I smiled feeling brave and courageous. My hike turn out to be about 5 miles long. A fine sunny day.
